You should see 150 to 160 psi 160 is good
Lift the lid on the fuse box and withdraw the petrol relay and the petrol fuse, you will see the sign on the fuse box on mine its about five down on the inside track and 10 amp. You should be able to spin her over without it trying to start. Its best to take out all the spark plugs and do the lot in one go.
Spin her over for about five or six revolutions
If there is a problem one or normally two cylinders will be down. You should also look at the spark plugs as they come out if one (or two) is very different from the others you have the cylinder(s) giving spark/fuelling issues

See post number 2....and £25 was all you needed to spend on set of OEM leads. Not disputing quality of Magnacore leads but the price doesn't warrant it.
Glad you resolved it dude....
